Ray White Bundaberg property expert expands businessย 

Ray White Bundaberg and Bargara selling principal and director Warren Hitzke is expanding his real estate business portfolio, having recently purchased an independent sales and property management business in Bargara.

Excited about his second business venture in the coastal town, Mr Hitzke will operate the business as Ray White Bargara Coastline.

Mr Hitzke, who started Ray White Bundaberg eight years ago, opened his second business in 2022, becoming one of the largest real estate teams in Bundaberg.

Between his two established businesses, Mr Hitzke has 23 staff including sales, property managers and administration.

โ€œTwelve months ago, I began exploring opportunities to expand my business,โ€ Mr Hitzke said.

โ€œAfter evaluating several real estate agencies in the Bargara area, Coastline Realty was a stand out for me. The strength of their rental portfolio and the strategic location of their office were key factors that aligned with my goals for business growth.

โ€œIn just eight years, we’ve achieved remarkable growth – what we’ve built in that time is something Iโ€™m truly proud of.  

โ€œBetween my two already established businesses, we have grown to a team of 23 dedicated staff in sales, property management and administration and continue to expand, establishing ourselves as market leaders in the industry.โ€

Mr Hitzke said: โ€œAs the coast continues to experience rapid growth, I see a real opportunity to bring even more value to the regionโ€.

โ€œSetting realistic goals and clear targets is pivotal to ensuring sustainable success and continued contribution to the area’s development. I see a big future in the coast and beyond.โ€

Mr Hitzke has lived in Bundaberg his entire life and has witnessed firsthand the regionโ€™s ongoing growth and development.

โ€œThe residential sector, in particular, is experiencing significant activity, with numerous housing developments currently underway,โ€ he said. 

Itโ€™s estimated that approximately 5,000 new residents will move to the area in the coming years, highlighting the strong demand and future potential of the region,โ€ Mr Hitzke said.

โ€œUnderstanding the coastline market is essential when operating in this region, and Coastline Realty brings invaluable insight in this regard,โ€ he said.

โ€œAs a longstanding business with a strong, trusted name, Coastline Realty has built a solid reputation through years of local expertise and community connection.

โ€œIt is an honour that I have had the opportunity to purchase such a reputable business. 

โ€œCoastline Realty has built a strong foundation of trust and excellence in the community, and Iโ€™m proud to carry that legacy forward under the Ray White branding.โ€

Ray White Queensland CEO Jason Andrew congratulated Mr Hitzke on the recent acquisition and said it was clear that growing his business while remaining at the forefront of his community was a priority.

โ€œBacked by a strong team and an ambitious leader, there is no doubt Warren will take his business to the next level,โ€ Mr Andrew said.
